[QUOTE="Kenhue3501, post: 1463490, member: 398409"] You can see I am newly diagnosed and have a lot of questions but is it normal to be sent out of hospital with a monitor a pack of insulin sticks and told just take 18 units of levemir in the morning and the same at night along side 16 units of novorapid morning, lunch and evening meal, so I am taking 18+16 before breakfast when my blood glucose levels are on a average of 7.8. Lunch time 16 novorapid when before lunch my readings are on average 9.6 after lunch 9.4. before dinner I take a further 16 novorapid when my readings are on an average of 7.1 then 2 hours later 10.4. Then before bed18 units of levemiron a reading of 9.6. Is there anywhere you can check your blood readings against the amount of insulin you should be taking. The hospital has finally sent me an appointment for the 1st August how much damage can I do myself with insulin before that date????? [/QUOTE]
